I like the headline..."Obama Overstates"

Saying 20 people died is an overstatement. Saying 10,000 people died is not an overstatement, it's delusional.

Barack Obama, caught up in the fervor of a campaign speech Tuesday, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died. The death toll was 12.

All the better to blame Bush.

It wasn't ten thousand. It was 200 thousand, all women and children.

I saw this on FOX ...(probably the only place it will be aired)

And he not only stepped in it...he stepped in it and ground his shoes in it!)

He said it/believed it/ and went on to repeat the other distortion...

..the one the governor was repeating, that the National Guard didn't have enough manpower to handle the crisis.

It was a glaring/lying insult...

..and this guy doesn't bother with the facts!....neither does the she-governor.

Typical Democrats!

RAT math:

10,000 died in a town of 1400.

And note, this was not a mere mistake concerning the numbers. Obama stated that an entire town’s worth of people died. He MEANT to say 10,000 people.

Obama Lied! 10,000 people died!

Or not.

He should have realized the error the instant he said it. The guy is developing a habit of stepping in it.

...he probably figured that the folks there would just take his word for it.

Exactly! Typical Rat trick. Just throw any number you want out there. As long as you’re a Rat, the media won’t call you on it.

How many times have we heard ridiculously inflated numbers — sexual assaults, domestic violence, homelessness, families living in poverty, etc.?

saying 10,000 had died. The death toll was 12.

But he is very articulate according to Rat standards

This plays into Hillary’s hands — as we all know, She “ain’t no ways tired”.

He was just using Louis Farrakhan’s new math. It’s how you count Million Man March numbers...

Don’t knock it. Rat math helps them inflate their voter rolls all over the country. We’re the dummies who vote only once.

“10,000 died in a town of 1400.”

Now if it Sturgis SD during the annual Biker Rally, that math may work.

Just wishful thinking about my county (JO) and the Republican voter roles. Parity demands that the be treated like Bush.

Keep in mind that HIS MOTHER IS FROM KANSAS. He should have a better sense about this.

Here are the actual county population figures from:

County Name Code Founded 1980 2000 County Seat
Kiowa KW 1886 4,046 3,278 Greensburg
